Super Antispyware is for spyware and malware. The question is addressed here http://forums.superantispyware.com/index.php?/topic/3870-avg/?s=7860c16b47aedc838e283cb69145e370#j_content It is not an antivirus program. Also the behavior of shutting down your computer is inconsistent with how mine behaves. I have it to scan once a day and in 10 minutes it ferrets out all the malware and eliminates them with no drastic interruption. ----- Original Message ----- From: Deb To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 3:51 PM Subject: RE: AVG and JAWS Yes, the last paid version of AVG I had was awful also. It missed two Trojans. I am using Super Anti Spyware Professional now, and am very happy. If it sees a file it doesn't like, it shuts down the computer and gets rid of it. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour Deb and Banff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 8:49 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: AVG and JAWS Alan, I thought that AVG had discontinued the free version fairly recently. This is why I went to MSE. The last time we tried to update AVG we had an awful time as we used to have a paid version and AVG would not allow us to go back to the free edition. The paid version was not nearly as friendly as the free one and the last version of the paid version we had was simply awful.

Okay folks, can somebody please provide a good address that actually leads to a download link for the free version of AVG? Alan
